The Jewel and the Comet

Price range: £5.99 through £9.99

High jinks, kink and just possibly the end of every universe there is. A new standalone space opera from a US based, core SF favourite.

A story of mixed up relationships, cynical and sarcastic space ships and villains who can destroy reality just by being in it.

A witty and thrilling space opera with a touch of romance from the author of The Knife and the Serpent.

Glenn is a normal graduate student (aside from his kinks and genderfluidity), living a normal life with his normal girlfriend, Vivy (a spy for an interdimensional agency with her own kinks).

When Vivy is called away on a scouting trip to stop a rogue comet, Glenn finds himself pulled from his normal life into an adventure of his own, navigating the multiverse with only a snarky starship as his guide.

 

Glenn and Vivy are far apart, facing dangerous foes; Glenn battling an evil cult leader with a limitless supply of power, and Vivy trying to recover a stolen jewel with a serious attitude, a jewel that can devastate entire universes. Kinks there may be, but is there a link?
